Details

problem: Section titled "Talk is cheap", the bottom edge drops lower than it should compared to 4.5. The bottm edge should line up with the bottom of the 2nd image on Discover IBM section, it drops below the 3rd image.
QA Contact: 4110
Update: found while doing the "top sites" checking. Using the latest seamonkey builds available today 2/5.

Chris, giving it to you, because it's one big [nested] table
(note on bugs #2960, #2961, #2963 and #2965. -- www.ibm.com) By the way ... www.ibm.com dynamically generates *every* page, both server-side and with all kinds of client-side javascript (including pixel-specific fragments driven by OS, browser, and version). (Look at the HTML source and it is echoing your user-agent, dns and exact time). If I save what 4.5 gets to disk and load it into nglayout, I get pretty good agreement in the two pages including 1) having the 'Go' instead of the 'arrow', 2) getting the background color, 3) getting the text box. (There are a couple of quirks: 1) small <input> box but that's a <style> issue, and 2) wrong color for <A> (blue not white) .. don't know why).

Summary: Layout of page different from 4.5 → [4.xP]Layout of page different from 4.5
Putting on [4.xP] radar.
Using build dated 3/3 the page has changed but the layout still not correct. Table in the middle (with a banner title News - March4) layout not right.
Taking myself off cc.
I'll restate my earlier point about #2960, #2961, #2963 & #2965(INVA), but perhaps more clearly this time: _These_are_NOT_bugs_. This is _not_ an apples-to-apples comparison -- www.ibm.com is emitting _COMPLETELY_ different HTML for 'Mozilla/5.0 [en] (Win95; I)' vs. 'Mozilla/4.5 [en] (Win95; I)' (and, I _guess_ for Unix/Mac agent strings). (This is true for the current page design/style, and for the recently retired page design of www.ibm.com). [Please email me if you need more information -- John].

I'm changing the QAC to myself(in the case where I am not already QAC) for bugs 2960,2961,2963, and 2965 so i can track them together since they may have a major issue in common. I will also huddle with John(3jrgm@qlink.queensu.ca) to see if we can resolve these issues quickly and easily.
The issues that 3jrgm@qlink.queensu.ca so rightly raised can now be tracked at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3688 (servers sending broken HTML based on mozilla/5.0 user agent)
